U.S. President Donald Trump has described the European Union (EU) as a group of "declining" countries led by "vulnerable" people, in an interview he gave in the specialized media Politico . "I think they are weak.
As for the war in Ukraine, the US president has said that European leaders "talk but do nothing," while "the war continues." In the US president's view, "Europe is not doing a good job in many respects."
On the other hand, Trump has also attacked Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski, who has said that he will have to "wake up and begin to accept things." The US president has been angry with the Ukrainian, who he believes "has not read" his latest proposal to end the war.
Zelensky, who met the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany on Monday in London, said European partners have a "common position" on finding a solution to the war. Ukraine's president stressed that Ukraine will not grant territory to Russia. He hopes to present a new peace plan later this Tuesday.
In an interview with the Politico media, Trump has insisted that Ukraine wants elections to be held as soon as possible. "I think this is an important time for elections.
